[Trombone-l] report on the Cerveny Cimbasso

[Tom Izzo]

Thanks Ray.

Did you see Cervenny markets FIVE models of Bass Trumpet?!!!!
The Yamaha & a few others listed are so conical (Marching Baritones) they're closer to Bass Cornets.

A-C even has a six valve BBb Tuba! Yikes, I wouldn't want to carry that around,\.

Your "straight" model F Bass is a lot like Mirafone's G Cembasso.
Osmun's music near Boston has that strange version. Jim B., correct me if I wrong, but isn't that a 5 or 6 valve model, to boot?
